Forecasts

Desertmore House (13/8), Vanillier (9/4), Busselton (7/2), The Goffer (4/1), Shannon Royale (11/2), Outside The Door (14/1), Bodhisattva (22/1), Lough Derg Spirit (25/1), Vital Island (25/1), Dorans Law (28/1), Walking On Glass (28/1), Benny The Duke (50/1), The Bosses Oscar (50/1), Cavalry Master (80/1)

Verdict

Successful at this course in February, VANILLIER went on to be placed at the Cheltenham Festival for the second year running and he can resume winning ways back here. Last year's runner-up Desertmore House disappointed at Cheltenham last time but is worth another chance, while Busselton could go well in his title defence.

  1. VANILLIER (FR)
  2. DESERTMORE HOUSE (IRE)
  3. BUSSELTON (FR)
